Toxic cyanobacterial blooms in a carbon dioxide (CO2)-rich world: assessing the impacts of global climate change

由于蓝藻对水质、动物和人类健康的影响，澳大利亚的蓝藻繁殖每年给该国造成超过1.5亿美元的损失。随着下个世纪全球气候变化影响的增加，预计这些水华的频率、分布和强度都将在全球范围内增加。该项目将提供对蓝藻影响严重程度的急需信息，蓝藻通常在澳大利亚水生生态系统中造成大量繁殖。这些信息对负责管理我们宝贵水资源的主管部门非常重要。

Cyanobacterial blooms in Australia cost the country over $150 million every year because of their impacts on water quality and animal and human health. The frequency, distribution and intensity of these blooms are all expected to increase worldwide as global climate change impacts increase over the next century. This project will provide much needed information of the severity of impacts on cyanobacteria commonly causing blooms in Australian aquatic ecosystems. This information will be important to authorities responsible for managing our precious water resources.
